Getting back into the swing...

Well we've all taken a few days to decompress and regain some lost sleep since coming back from the salt flats, and we spent some time today cleaning and washing the car. We got most of the visual areas cleaned, and we'll completely take the car apart next week for a much more thorough cleaning. The reason we didn't take it apart completely today is because the team will be up in Detroit, MI tomorrow, for a meeting with Ford to show both our car and theirs to others at Ford. I'll have more on that later this week. In the meantime, enjoy this video of the very first pushstart out at Speedweek last week:

Buckeye Bullet

The student run team is based out of the Center for Automotive Research at The Ohio State University. Currently the team is in the process of designing a brand new land speed vehicle. This new vehicle branded the Buckeye Bullet 3 is anticipated to be significantly faster than previous cars. In the summer of 2010, the team built a battery powered land speed streamliner (BB2.5), that broke the previous world record held by the Buckeye Bullet 1. Each of the vehicles are run on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
